Pelosi, Colbert talk about middle class, and naked photos of John Boehner

At least, that’s what Stephen Colbert joked during his late-night show Monday in an interview with the former Speaker of the House. Pelosi returned to “The Colbert Report” to talk about Middle Class Jumpstart, a 100-day plan for passing legislation that ensures equal pay for equal work, increases access to Pell Grants and provides tax incentives to corporations that create more jobs in the U.S.

Colbert was skeptical about the ambitious agenda.

“How can you possibly get this done? What are going to use? Do you have naked photos of John Boehner doing something?” he jested. “And if you do, is the tan uniform?”

That made the California congresswoman cover her eyes and shift in her chair. Pelosi had a simple strategy: win the House for the Democrats.

But Colbert pointed out that would probably mean she’d return to her former role as Speaker.

“Why would you ever want that job again? John Boehner is on the edge of a nervous breakdown all the time. He looks like he’s going to burst into tears,” he said.

Pelosi served in the most powerful position in the House for four years before the GOP won the chamber. She touted the Democratic record in the House, where liberals pushed through the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform when they were in control.

“I didn’t love being speaker, but I liked getting the job done for the American people,” Pelosi said.

She said the Middle Class Jumpstart plan also calls on the federal government to raise the minimum wage, expand affordable child care and update the country’s infrastructure by “closing tax loopholes for special interests.”

Colbert then pivoted to immigration and the influx of unaccompanied minors who have crossed the southern border since last October.

“Why do you think Obama is encouraging all of these children to come to the United States? What’s his plan?” he said. “You guys are going to register these 8-year-olds from Guatemala to vote, right?”

Pelosi, falling into line with her colleagues, said the border surge “is a humanitarian crisis, and it needs a humanitarian response.” She told Colbert, a Catholic, that the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops wrote in a statement to Congress that Jesus himself was “a child migrant fleeing to Egypt to avoid violence, persecution, and death.”

“He didn’t ask to be a citizen in Egypt. He didn’t ask to be able to vote for the pharaoh. He went back to the Holy Land,” Colbert countered.

“They didn’t vote for the pharaoh in those days,” Pelosi said.

The segment ended on the lawsuit that Boehner has filed against President Barack Obama. Pelosi said when she announced the Jumpstart plan, Republicans were holding a hearing about the suit at the same time.

“If the president is being a tyrant, what choice do they have but to take him to court?” he said. “Obama can always counter-sue. Everyone in Washington can [get] lawyers and we’ll let Judge Judy decide the entire thing.”
